Overview
HBX invokes the ISS Web UI (the "card picker") to prompt the user to select from among a set of i-cards that can be used at the relying party site. If the site requires authentication, the user must first choose an i-card for this purpose from those displayed in the ISS Web UI.
If the site supports, beyond the authentication step just mentioned, one or more protocols for data exchange then HBX may invoke the ISS Web UI and present the user with a set of one or more i-cards that represent these kinds of data exchange. After this non-auth i-card has been selected, HBX uses the services of HBX Support to set up a channel between the site and an i-card (especially its associated IdAS Context).
Services
Here are a list of the services that are provided to HBX:
- New account creation
- Verification of HBX authentication
- Returns the Terms of Service text on request
- Form fill support - provides HBX with data with which to auto-fill web forms on external websites
- Screen scrape support - provides HBX with scripts with with to scrape attribute data from remote sites
- Note: HBX Support retreives the script data streams from the i-card instance for the site that HBX is currently "on" (this i-card instance is instantiated and managed by an I-Card Provider implementation)
